Autistic catatonia

Hello, and hello mum!

I'm sorry that you've been so ill and I hope you can feel better soon. 

There is a page here about autistic catatonia: 

https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/mental-health/catatonia/autistic-adults#:~:text=Autism%20and%20catatonia%20share%20some,pattern%20of%20activities

I don't know if any of that information helps you because you've probably done lots of research already, but at the bottom of the page is a link to a woman's YouTube channel. She has had episodes of catatonia and has made videos about it. There may be some information in there that may help. 

I also found this vlog:

Also, Jamie Knight, one of the presenters on 1800 Seconds on Autism on BBC Sounds, has episodes of extreme shutdown (I don't know if he calls his experience catatonia). He talks a bit about it in the episode "I don't know how much pain I'm in".

Those are the experiences I have come across. I hope that helps and wish you a speedy recovery.

I have looked for a comprehensive explanation for this, for the purposes of justifying the adjustment that I need forever, this is the right answer for me, I’m sure of it..:D

This has got to be one of the most informative replies that I have ever seen on this website, to me this stuff is ground-breaking and IS not represented in core-autism-literature, I’ve completed whole level-2 courses and been on specialist-session about autism, that have not broken any new-ground for me.
I believe that the main focus of autism should be on getting the basics out into society, but the main-focus is on trail-blazing, yet I have witnessed very-few new-items of information, even with the current societal-mission.
So thank you very much, I don’t know whether I have successfully expressed my feelings, but my intentional is to commend you..:)
